Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning of summer, and that means it’s cookout season!

Ah, the muffin. Cherished food for breakfast, snacks, and dessert. I especially like to bake muffins when I’m baking for a crowd, like when I’m bringing food to share with my Sunday school class.

It’s Meatless Monday! Herb and I don’t always stick to this, but we do make an effort to have at least 1 meatless meal a week, and we like to do it on Monday so we can exclaim that it’s Meatless Monday. My friend Lindsay at Vegan Yumminess would be proud! Read More...

I made a few changes, and these lemon-raspberry thumbprint cookies came out light, fluffy, and pretty. Read More...

You may have read in my 20 questions post on Monday that I’m still slightly intimidated by seafood. We just never really fixed it at my house growing up, mainly because my mom and Sister Spice don’t really like fish, although they do enjoy shrimp and some seafood. Anyway, I have vowed to learn to make some good seafood and I thought I would start small – with frozen shrimp. Read More...

I love steak, and I love it fixed in any way possible, but when I saw a recipe for steak with orange sauce in my Taste of Home cookbook, I knew I had to try it, and I made several adjustments to make it my own, and the recipe is as follows: Read More...
